Wow... I was so stoked about the tribute to Brian, I got the joke wrong... let me correct this! "My name is Brian. B-R-I-V-O-L-B-N-the number seven-the letter Q. BRENOMENENA. Look at my nametag.... It's big!"

I also like the more vintage feel the colors give. Thanks for the suggestion/comment... if anything the indistinguishable colors will evoke curiosity

no offense but....your not very good at taking suggestions. those few things would make your tshirt much better, esspecially about fixing the shape of the structure. I cant even recognize it as a sugar molecule.... The point of this shirt is that other people need to recognize what its supposed to be. it doesn't matter that a child's project would be imperfect, you should make it perfect so that its recognizable. also...i think it would be better if the marshmallows were a bit smaller because right now its hard to make out what the shape is supposed to be because they're too big.

So the question is, is this the real results of the experiment, or have the findings been.. *gasp!* altered? I think that the poor kid found nothing happend that was exciting at all when they fed the CATerpillar, so they just went crazy with ideas! You can see the little still tiny CATerpillar eating the paper at the end and peeking though!

I get that the prompt was Middle School science fair and that's why the equation is so simple, but it just ruins the shirt for me. I'd definitely want this shirt if it included a more complex equation or no equation at all.

How did this design not make it into the fog??? Yet "Sky in a jar" made it. Is "sky in a jar" a thing? It has been many years since I was a kid doing a science fair project. Is some dumb thing in a jar a legitimate science fair entry.

And the Bonsai trees, what gives??? Just because you put them in a test tube to make it science fair-ish, doesn't make it exciting.

And lest we forget the "Spectrum." Isn't that just a rip off of the Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon album cover? I understand that Pink Floyd didn't invent the prism, let alone the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, they just used almost the exact same image, without the rainbow becoming a tree.

To love is to share! Thanks for sharing your process Walmazan, it was very informative and fun to watch. I hope to get back into making designs soon and I know I'll be taking some tips from this video.

I hope you don't change your style in the name of pleasing the woot community - perhaps it is simply the content that did not capture the fog; this shows talent, originality, and a style which is well developed, expressive, and finely detailed. It's a breath of fresh air, keep it up.

Part of the requirements for funding agencies and departments is outreach into the community and as a result I have spent a fair amount of time coordinating and presenting for science clubs in our local area.

Any sort of mutation project is well beyond the reach of middle schoolers and junior high even into high school. What isn't beyond middle schoolers is that if you pour bleach on animals they die. The shirt is a poorly shoehorned attempt at a TMNT reference which has absolutely no basis in the theme.

With all of the controversy regarding ethical use of animals, there is no possibility even at the middle school level that kids are taking animals in the attempt to "do stuff to them." It's not responsible and it's not something that should be profited off of as a joke.

It's irresponsible and unethical and the fact that it would be allowed is personally insulting especially given the great lengths that everyone in science from the top down has to go through to ensure that animals are used in responsible ways.

Yep, "Sky in a Jar" is a real experiment. A simple google search will tell you that, and the artist even included a link to it in the first post of that design's thread.

I'd like to point out the MASSIVE IRONY that you're railing on "Spectrum", considering RamyB did both this shirt and that one.

Who would have guessed that awful submission is the same artist as this gem. The reason it is fogged is the same reason this thing is fogged, he has a rabid following. His third submission in the fog is actually pretty good in my opinion though. Man has talent, but seems to hate to use it. Sad really.

I was quite pleasantly surprised when I opened this up and saw that it was RamyB, I never would have guessed. Props for going a different style.

I really like this, the colors appeal to me and I was always a space geek from a young age. This one seems to me to fit the theme way more than a lot of the other fogged entries and is clever and kind of topical. Kids in ten years will never understand the whole Pluto is no longer a planet thing and it's kind of a nostalgia thing to back when there were 9 and you could memorize their order with my very energetic mother just served us nine pizzas. It's not quite the same without the pizza.

I'm glad that people got that reference! haha. I was out of town for a few days so I didn't get a chance to check this too often or comment, but here's a late thank you to everyone for their comments and votes

I love this design! I'll be very sad if I can't buy it. Oh, and a few things:

1. Red, green, and blue are the primary colors of light. There are, for all practical purposes, an infinite number of colors; there are "seven" colors in the rainbow because Sir Isaac Newton liked the number seven. There are NOT only seven colors in the visible spectrum, nor are there seven primary colors.

I thought about posting something clever and logical and then defending my position like so many others before me, but then I realized no one listens to angry people on the internet. We just laugh at them.

So here's this:
RamyB, I love your work. You are a very talented artist and I'm glad you don't let pissy people keep you from continuing to submit your art. I've noticed that it seems that when someone does really well on here, people start turning on them like they did with BassAnimation with her Mirai shirt (which I'm wearing right now and love). I think it's a shame.

I do however second the notion that you branch out in styles. I think you do the cute stuff well, but are too talented to do just that. Since half my tshirts are of RamyB penguims, at this point I'm more likely to buy the Spectrum or Minor Modifications one than this one, even though I think it's funny and am not 4yrs old and offended at images of dead turtles.
